Short profile:
Rab use Pertex® Equilibrium® fabric in their Vapour-rise softshell range.
Rab are committed to making outstanding gear for climbers and mountaineers who take it to the extreme in the world's harshest environments. For over 30 years Rab products have been designed for outdoor people. These products lead the way in function and design, because at the heart of the Rab brand there has always been a committed group of mountain enthusiasts, people who have been working with, and using Pertex® fabrics for the last three decades. In fact Rab were the first outdoor brand to use Pertex® fabrics in their down sleeping bags and clothing.
Detailed description:
When Rab product designers are making the best kit for active mountain pursuits, whether it be summiting a Munroe, pulling a sled, riding a mountain bike or simply hanging from a pair of axes - they demand the best components and materials, materials like Pertex®. A Rab Pertex® Vapour-rise garment is designed to be worn next to the skin, or commonly with a single base layer, the fabric and design efficiently maintains optimum temperature, reducing sweating and rapidly transmitting sweat away from the skin to the outside where it evaporates away. Combined with water and snow shedding performance, wind resistance and active design Rab Vapour-rise, the original soft shell creates comfort equilibrium.
Our range of mountain clothing and equipment now includes all layers from the skin out, as well as sleeping bags and bivis. We work very closely with all our fabric and component partners to ensure that we are getting the best from all available sources.
New fabric developments have enabled us to produce our lightest ever down sleeping bags and clothing, as well as some of the world’s most breathable waterproof shells, below are details of the technologies we use as well as links to specific fabrics and manufacturers.
